REVIEW.


New YORK, January 3.-The market to-day
has been a very quiet and desultory one. and
the public have evidently decided to wait for
short time before coming in on large
scale. That they should do so is to .ns, more
of favorable nature than otherwise, as am
sudden outburst of bull speculation at the
immediate opening of a new year would
have been detrimental rather than othe' wise
10 anv substantial rise later on. European
markets did but very little and, finding the
situation neglected, we are inclined to be-
lieve that the bear cliques put out fresh lines
of short stock, doing 50 quietly and without
attracting attention. After o'clock, how
ever, material improvement set in and the
way in which the market recovered would
seem to indicate that the short interest has
not been diminished especially among the
smaller accounts. We look for higher mar
ket tomorrow. Prices closed steady. Money,
per cent.
